Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 3460909, member: 8536"] There were two moments in the Ghana vs Uruguay match that Uruguay felt should have been penalties, and it's the reason for their behavior towards the officials after the game. The first one, I don't think it's a penalty. I've seen them given, but I think Nunez contributes to what happened. It might be a penalty by the laws of the game, but moments like this should not be penalties ever. I don't think the contact is sufficient enough to justify a penalty. The ref initially waved it away, then VAR stepped in and it went for a review, ref reviews it and decides no penalty which I think was the right call. [MEDIA=imgur]3rm6DG3[/MEDIA] This is the main one Uruguay were blowing up about at full time because of the situation they were in. This one is definitely not a penalty. Cavani takes a dive in the hopes of gaining a penalty and it doesn't work out for him which led to him confronting the officials after the game and also punching over the stand that contains the VAR monitor that the refs use. [MEDIA=imgur]RizlbgV[/MEDIA] I can't remember who it was in the post-game, I think it was Bosnich, going on that it's a highly emotional situation regarding the Uruguay players' behavior towards the officials which is a cop out. There's no excuse for what they did. You don't confront the officials in such a way. Uruguay thought they had it in the bag when they went up 2-0, took off Suarez and Arrascaeta and really after that they weren't pushing for that third goal as much as they should have been. They thought they were through to the knockout stages, Korea had other ideas. [/QUOTE]
